Just my opinion but you should be in the 13's with those Streets. What were your 60' times? What type of control arms?

As for power, that's sorta a misnomer of a question because most of your mods are suspension. It's not like in the ricer world where stickers and neons can add horsepower to your car.

If I were to guess, I'd say you may have 10-15HP above stock, most of that in the 1.7's, but without changes to your heads, exhaust or intake the added lift provided just won't benefit you much.

Like I was saying, with Streets you should be well in the 13's if you're getting off the line at all. Otherwise you may as well be running street tires if you're not going to launch for all that those Streets are worth.
